The Max-Planck SocietywiththeirinstitutesforextraterrestrischePhysik(MPE)andAstrophysik(MPA) together with the Technische Universita¨t Mu¨nchen (TUM), the Ludwig-Maximilians- Universita¨tMu¨nchen(LMU)andtheEuropeanSouthernObservatory(ESO)aswellas the Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher Leopoldina, the Bayerische Akademie der Wissenschaften and the Berlin-Brandenburgische Akademie der Wissenschaften con- sideredthisanexcellentopportunityforcelebratingEinsteinandhisworkbyanInterna- tionalConferenceonRelativisticAstrophysicsandCosmology–Einstein’sLegacy.The conferencetookplace,onthepremisesoftheTUMdowntownMunichfromNovember 7to11,2005withabout200participantsfrom30countriesfromallovertheworld.The scientific sessions were organised in 10 invited talks, 48 contributed talks and almost 90postersondisplayintheAudimaxoftheTUM.Thetopicspresentedanddiscussed werefocusingoncosmology,activegalacticnuclei,clustersofgalaxies,X-raybinaries andjets,gamma-rayburstsandgravity. A scientific highlight was the well-attended public evening lecture on ‘Der rela- tivistischeKosmos–undwasAstrophysikerausEinsteinsIdeengemachthaben’held byJu¨rgenEhlersinthePlenarsaaloftheBayerischeAkademiederWissenschaftenon November8.Anotherhighlight,althoughmoreofthesocialkind,wastheConference DinnerattheMPEinGarchingonNovember10.Despiteabriefshortageofbeer,which brokeoutaround10p.m.,thespiritswerehighandstillimprovedconsiderablyafteran emergencyorderoffurtherbeer,suchthatquiteanumberofattendeestriedtodelaythe bussesleavetothehotelsindowntownMunichwellaftermidnight. From all of what has been brought to my attention I may conclude that the con- ferenceasseenbytheparticipantswasquiteasuccessbothscientificallyandsocially, and the weather was fine as well with lots of sunshine for the entire week. The con- ferenceorganisationwentsmoothandefficient,thankstotheexcellentsupportbythe TUM administration, the teams of the Congress & Seminar Management (CSM) and VI Preface of the Milde-Marketing company, the MPE personnel and, last but not least, because of the tireless engagement and commitment of all members of the Local Organizing Committee.Iwouldliketoexpressmysincerethankstoallwhomadethisconference anenjoyableevent.
